Harald and Mathias had lives that would be difficult for many others to understand. They didn’t have distractions or technology, but they were happy. Their way of life could be dying in the world, but it’s important to keep in mind. Having the biggest car, shiniest toy or nicest house isn’t the most important thing in the world.

What’s important is holding on tight to what you love in life: family, friends and your passions. Remember Harald and Mathias and their simple life, and share it with others.
